Indescribable Gift

 

"Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words." (2 Corinthians 9:15)

A treasured gift awaited me when we got home from Florida last night. The note read:

Hi Jill,

I ran across this afghan in the cedar chest, and I thought of you. My mom Evie Powers crocheted it so many years ago. Maybe you can use it when you go camping this fall. Enjoy.

God bless,

Marie

My dear friend, Marie, is 93. The handmade afghan is special; but as a gift from a 93-year-old friend, it's is a treasure. And the fact that her mother made it makes it priceless!

In His second letter to the Corinthians, Paul thanked God for a gift too wonderful for words. The gift? The person and work of Christ — God's indescribable gift. Beloved, have you thanked God for Jesus today?
